The Lower Rum River Watershed Management Organization (LRRWMO) has established goals to address <br />the water and natural resource management issues described in Section 3. LRRWMO goals are aligned <br />with the broad statutory purposes listed in Minnesota Statues 1036.201 but are more specific in their <br />application to LRRWMO resources. The LRRWMO has also adopted policies to support the achievement of <br />LRRWMO and partner goals. Goals and policies are described in this section. <br />LRRWMO goals are presented in Table 4-1. Goals are generally grouped according to issue area (see <br />Section 3) although many of the goals address multiple issues. Where appropriate, goals contain <br />measurable quantities to evaluate progress (see Section 5.5.2). In some cases, measurable quantities are <br />not included for reasons that may include: <br />• Lack of baseline data (e.g., reduction in chloride loading from a currently unknown amount) <br />• Variable or unknown opportunities for implementation (e.g., volume reduction associated with <br />LRRWMO-permitted projects) <br />• Dependence upon partner action (e.g., LRRWMO support for actions related to groundwater and <br />invasive species issues) <br />Measures and/or outputs have been identified for each goal to assist in evaluating progress. <br />4-1 <br />
